Paster Extension

This tool is meant to reduce the number of times a user has to copy some text when doing repetitive tasks. The idea is that he will copy the text once, paste it in an input box in the extension and have it available in multiple pages to be pasted with a predefined keyboard shortcut. This process can be repeated with up to 10 input boxes with their matching keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + [0-9]).

This is an alpha version as I want to make sure that my company's browser supports such functionality.
